Method for disassembling plasma display device

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for disassembling a plasma display device including PDP ( 11 ) having front plate ( 20 ) and rear plate ( 21 ), and metal support plate ( 14 ) bonded to rear plate ( 21 ) of PDP ( 1.1 ) with bonding member ( 1.6 ) interposed therebetween. The method includes removing front plate ( 20 ) constituting PDP ( 11 ) to expose a surface of rear plate ( 21 ), and then removing formed layers on rear plate ( 21 ), followed by irradiation with infrared rays from a rear plate ( 21 ) side, to heat bonding member ( 16 ) between rear plate ( 21 ) and metal support plate ( 14 ) so as to decrease bonding strength, and thereafter to separate rear plate ( 21 ) and metal support plate ( 14 ).

1 . A method for disassembling a plasma display device, the plasma display device including:
 a plasma display panel having a front plate and a rear plate; and   a metal support plate bonded to the rear plate of the plasma display panel with a bon ding member interposed therebetween, the method comprising:   removing the front plate constituting the plasma display panel to expose a surface of the rear plate;   then removing formed layers on the rear plate, followed by irradiation with infrared rays from a rear plate side, to heat the bonding member between the rear plate and the metal support plate so as to decrease bonding strength; and thereafter to separate the rear plate and the metal support plate.   
     
     
         2 . The method for disassembling a plasma display device according to  claim 1 , wherein a peak wavelength of infrared rays is from 1 μm to 5 μm.
